A Qualitative Study of the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Metastatic Breast Cancer Care.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic substantially impacted the delivery of oncology care, particularly for individuals with metastatic cancers. The objective of this study was to qualitatively evaluate the impacts of COVID-19 on metastatic breast cancer (MBC) care among patients. This study consisted of 36 semi-structured qualitative interviews conducted virtually with people living with MBC, who were members of a patient support organization called Project Life. Project Life is an MBC patient-led, web-based wellness community. Responses were analyzed using Phronetic Iterative Analysis. Interviews were conducted from March 14, 2022, to May 31, 2022. Analysis from 36 individual in-depth qualitative interviews revealed the following themes during COVID-19: (1) variable preferences for telehealth (2) disruptions to care, (3) virtualization of social care. Wide variations existed in preferences surrounding telehealth, centered around ideas of convenience. Disruptions to care included delays to diagnostic care, isolation from caregivers, and interruptions associated with COVID-19 infection. These results call for adaptability in oncology care given wide-ranging preferences on telehealth and the shifting of available support services.
